Cold air is making a comeback around New York City for Christmas after 70-degree weather from this past weekend.
Parts of the area will have a ground-whitening snow shower on Christmas Eve. Folks traveling through the evening hours should prepare for the snow showers to reduce visibility.
The greatest threat for the snow to create slick travel will be north and west of the city, including on I-78, I-80 and I-84.
Temperatures on Christmas will be 40 degrees lower when compared to over the weekend. The high Wednesday is forecast to fall just short of 30 F, but will start the day in the lower 20s.
Aside from a late-day flurry on Thursday, dry weather is forecast around New York City from Christmas Day through Sunday. There is a slight chance of snow around New Year's Eve.
Temperatures will rebound over the weekend before more arctic air returns early next week.
